All credit to BVM Stroud.
Took my 2006 R1200GS in so they could check out the battery (poor thing just wouldnt hold a charge).
BVM gave me a loan bike to get home on (I live in Cardiff, but as we all know the BMW dealer there is no longer bike friendly) this was free of charge.
Was called to confirm that the battery was 'dead' and that a new one had been installed free of charge as the bike was under 2 years old.
They were even able to get my second 'metal' key out to me by return of post (or so it seemed!) - again free of charge.
And all this after not even having purchased the bike from them in the first place
We are often all too quick to moan (and rightly so) but I also think good customer service should be acknowledged. And as a note to the dealers who may read this - good customer service does pay off, because when it comes to replacing my bike (mid next year) BVM Stroud will get my business!
